Hello there,

I am stuck and need to have a readable graph.  I am creating a bivariate horizontal bargraph (of Q3No. of ER visits vs. Q68sex) using PROC SGPLOT with Journal2 style. Is there any way I can move the segment labels from inside the bars to outside just so that they are legible? Apologies, I am unable to show the data.

The output for the code below is shown in attachment "figure ER visits vs sex".

I am looking to produce the graph with labels as seen in the attachment "What I want my graph to look like ER vs sex".

I appreciate the help.

The basic approach I would take would be to

1) summarize the data creating the percentage values you need

2) add the TEXT of the values as a new variable with compatible horizontal and vertical axis values

3) add a TEXT plot

4) modify the hbar to remove segment labels entirely and make sure there is sufficient space between the bars for the text and to have a TEXT plot an HBARPARM would be needed for compatibility.

If your current variable for Sex is character you may need to change to a numeric with appropriate format so the X Y coordinates can make sense.
